You most definitely could hear concorde's boom. I remember hearing it as a kid.
Google suggests that it was allowed to accelerate above Mach 1 over the Bristol channel, so it's logical that you could hear it in Swindon.
I know there were a lot of complaints from residents on the coasts of Devon and Cornwall who would get the worst of the boom.

We heard it down here in South Somerset too, thought it was a loud clap of thunder but the sky was pretty clear.
Having heard 1st hand a sonic boom about 50 yards above my head several years ago I can say that it was exactly the same sound as a sonic boom.
But why was it heard over such a distance? from Lincoln, Warwickshire, Oxfordshire, Wiltshire, Somerset and Dorset, thats a bloody big area.

The 'boom' travels. It's a wave A laser from here will be seen a bit later 500 miles aways, it's still the same laser |

Typhoon is based at Coningsby, so Coventry > Warwick > Oxfordshire > Wiltshire would suggest they were scrambled to somewhere over the South West.
The boom would be heard the whole way, as I posted earlier it is a constant sound but the only way it would appear constant would be if you are travelling at the same speed and remain at the same distance.
